Disposal

Packaging
Never allow children to play with packaging material due to the danger of injury or
suffocation. Store the packaging material in a safe location or dispose of it in an
environmentally-friendly way.
12.2
Safety
Render the appliance unusable to prevent accidents caused by improper use (e.g.
through children playing):

out by a qualified electrician. Then cut the mains cable off flush with the appliance.
12.3
Disposal
▪
The «crossed‐out wheeled bin» symbol requires the separate collection of waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Such equipment can contain hazardous,
environmentally harmful materials.
▪
These appliances are to be handed over to a designated collection point for the recyc-
ling of electrical and electronic equipment and must not be disposed of with unsorted
household waste. And in this way, you will be helping to protect resources and the en-
vironment.
▪
For more information, please contact the local authorities.
